IMPROVEMENT IN AUTOMATIC FANS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 154,406, dated August 25, 1874; application filed June 27, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAUL MAGNUS, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Automatic Fans, of which the following is a specification:

The invention will first be fully described, and then pointed out in the claims;

Figure 1 is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a top View .of the movement-case.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. 7

The main gear-wheels of the movement are seen in dotted lines in Fig. 2, so arranged that twoactuating-springs operate to drive the middle wheel, which in turn drives the spindle-shaft.

A is the spindle-shaft. B is the box or casing' of the fan-movement. The upper end of the spindle-shaft A passes up through the top of the casing, and has through it a pin, 0. 1) is a socket on the lower end of the spindle E. This socket is slotted, and extends down so as to receive the end of the spindle-shaft, as seen in dotted lines, while the slot F receives the horizontal pin 0 for turning the spindle. This pin 0 performs another function, and that is to operate in connection with the little pivoted bar G to stop the movement of the fan. This stop-bar G is fastened to the case by a pivotscrew, H, and its end is turned so that when it is turned laterally the pin G will strike it i The fans may be attached to the spindle in.

any other suitable manner.

This fan may be placed upon a desk or table when a person is writing or reading, or upon a sewing-machine tableor stand near by, for agitating the air and cooling the person. This fan works without noise, and is portable and convenient. 7

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- I 1. The pin (3, arranged to turn the spindle E, and operate in connection with pivoted bar G, for stopping fan, all as shown and described.

2. The turned-up stop-bar G, pivoted screw H, and pin O, combined as and for the purpose set forth.

PAUL MAGNUS.
